I think minimally you need DateAndTime, Duration, RuleDate,
RuleIndexDate, and RuleSelectionCodeDate.
I don't know if they rely on any of the other changed methods in the
Ansi compatibility package. I am kind of curious why something core
like Ansi compatibility is being left out as an optional package though.

A lot - nearly 300 references. But I'm not advocating removal - Time
as it is now represents time of day - a useful concept in itself that
the ansi classes don't cover.
